Garage door slab location - North America

[theonlydesignguy]

Am I missing something about the way garage door slabs are shown?  I can't figure out how to move the garage door slab to show correctly ie. to the inside face of the garage, sealed to the frame.  Can someone please shed some light on what I am missing?

TIA

Again, how Softplan would show this modeled.

Maybe the USA objects are different to the AUS library?

Or maybe we are talking about 2 different doors.

To me an overhead door is made from 4 or 5 horizontal panels and it slide open on a curved track.

Frame sits behind the wall.

This is as it is placed by default - but it has no option for a frame inside the opening - you would have to model that separately.

The door you have modelled looks like it is one solid panel, and I would call this a tilt door.

As it lifts up, the bottom pushes forward and the top backward.

The door sits inside the frame because it has to come forward.

I think I have been arguing that you are correct all along - and seems there is no way to get a frame for the door and have the garage door closing up against the interior face of said frame.  I will just have to get along with it as it is I sense.  Thank you for fighting through this miscommunication with me.

If you are happy with that overhead door (and you have it in the USA library), just add an empty rectangular window opening with an external casing.
